Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Dr. Garrett answered every question I asked and, at my request, gave me sources to read/watch so I would understand what the procedure entails. This made me very comfortable. He treated me as an individual which made me feel I could trust him. I think that's the most important thing a surgeon can give a patient. I am actually looking forward to seeing what he can do for me. My expectations are reasonable, so I don't expect miracles, but I feel he will do his best for me. The rest is up to me.

This was my first time meeting him. He appeared to go over all important information. Easy going gentleman. He listened to my health issues. He discussed different alternatives depending after he consults with another doctor and hardware advisor.He informed me he will try to select the best service for my problems.

He is knowledgeable and shows true concern for MY condition by tailoring a treatment plan for ME! Much different than a former consult in which the doctor told me what he was going to do before even examining me.
